NEW YORK, NY; July 11, 2007 — Dukas Public Relations (DPR) today announced that Kristin Conforti has been promoted to Senior Account Supervisor and Seth Linden to the newly-created position of Senior Director of Media Relations. The moves were made to support to the agency’s rapid growth over the past 12 months; DPR has doubled its staff and billings and is on track for similar growth for the remainder of 2007.

In her new position, Conforti, who joined DPR in early 2006 as an account supervisor, will continue to play an integral role in DPR’s growing technology practice. She is charged with client management across multiple accounts, team leadership and high-level media execution. Conforti’s career began at Connors Communications where, in less than four years, she worked her way up from intern to Senior Account Executive, a position in which she was responsible for the day-to-day operations of many of the firm’s top accounts.

“Kristin’s strong leadership and business skills have allowed her to quickly make a mark on the public relations world,” said Richard Dukas, DPR president and CEO. “Kristin has been instrumental in helping our technology practice grow from two to 13 accounts. She consistently delivers tremendous results for our tech clients, and we remain impressed by her hard work and dedication to DPR. I look forward to watching her continued success in the public relations field and am thrilled to have her as part of our team.”

Seth Linden joined the DPR financial and professional services team in April 2006 after a successful seven-year career as a broadcast journalist, based primarily in Washington, D.C., covering Capitol Hill. Linden proved himself quickly to be DPR’s top generator of publicity. In his new position, Linden will leverage his extensive experience to support DPR’s financial and professional services clients and enhance the agency’s overall media relations program. He also heads up DPR’s media training/counseling practice.

“Seth is one of the best media strategists I have encountered in my career,” said Dukas. “His background as a reporter, his ability to make complicated stories both easy to understand and newsworthy, coupled with his skill at creating strong contacts at top outlets make him a tremendous asset to DPR. His new role underscores the strong commitment DPR has to media and to securing coverage across our client base.”
